61-year-old Canadian woman travels to Rajasthan to marry dating app match; he backs out
The woman had arrived in India to marry Nitin, a 31-year-old man from Panipat in Haryana, with whom she had been in contact for around a year.
A Canadian woman, 61 years old, flew to India to marry a man she met on a dating app. The man, Nitin, 31, from Panipat in Haryana, allegedly refused to proceed with the marriage after the Canadian woman arrived, claiming she was too old, according to police. The situation emerged after the woman reached out to the Canadian Embassy for assistance.
Police involvement ensued, with the Canadian Embassy asking local authorities to question both the woman and Nitin. The incident occurred in Neemrana, in Rajasthan's Behror district. The Canadian woman, who had been in contact with Nitin for a year, arrived in Delhi on a tourist visa on November 11. She stayed with Nitin and his family in Neemrana for two days before raising concerns about their age difference.
Nitin, a teacher, is now being questioned by police, while the woman is being housed at a care center in Kotputli, awaiting return to Canada.
